About this livestream

Description

Admissions officers don't just want to know that you're good at what you do; they want to see that you love doing it. So, join Hale for a breakdown of the 'Why this major?' prompt type, including: what admissions officers are looking for, things to avoid, and general tips for writing. Hale will be going through the do's and don'ts and then walking through a sample essay live!

Hale will also open up the floor for a Q&A session to answer any questions you may have about 'Why this major?' essays.
